Dave G and I will hopefully arrive between 10 and 10.30, I won't get lost on this route Gaz I have a little something to give to Kasier, if you could take it back with you that would be great.... Just remind me to leave my dangly bit in your car before we set off.

.......which we will pass early on Sunday morning about 3 miles after getting off the boat. There is handy cafe & wcs which will be open (tea and scones ) so we could just take tea/coffee breakfast at the bothy and carbo-load with goodies here

Shovel at bothy

Haven't had time to do list yet - but will be the usual cycling stuff inc waterproofs, plus sleeping bag and mat - will try tonight just to act as an aid memoire although i'm sure most of you will know what you're taking already

Update

Mate has just phoned.Something about the bank withdrawing his overdraft.He's had to cancel at the last moment,therefore it seems i must too.I cant get up there for 10.30am and after the return trip from Kingshouse i'd have nowhere to go,or be able to camp or any of the stuff ive planned

f**k Gutted

Train no good?

Go up Friday evening with smaller tent or BofO Hotel Bunkhouse at £15?

InverAwe - I've had some of their smoked trout at a food fair, stunning stuff - I might try a wee piece and smoked venison for my packed lunch

Rado did your sleeping bag arrive? If not I bought one of these for £25 - VANGO ULTRALITE 200 from the sports direct shop, might be a little chilly but a liner should sort that. - it is small and very light.

The above is roughly what I'll have, we can discuss finer points at carpark if we have too many stoves, FA kits etc.

Weather forecast is ok, but I did get caught in a hellish cold squall yesterday, so warm eveningwear and decent waterproofs are recommended.

We should be ok when inside bothy as overnight temp is around 8 degrees

Due to work committments I haven't had a chance to deposit supplies, BUT if I speak nicely to SWIMBO I may be able to get her to drive "goodies" to approx 4 miles from bothy on Saturday afternoon/evening - we'd have to collect it though Will know about that later tonight.............

Bothy is floor, walls and roof, little else. Possible some candles and last time I was there, there were approx 6 frying pans, if that info is any use.
